[Opinions] College Birth Announcements
My college magazine gives some birth announcements for former alums that I thought I'd share. These are all 2011 births but some of them interesting. It's weird seeing names from more of my generation as the names of parents rather than kids. Austin (Erika and Francis)
Luke Michael (Lauren)
Patrick John (Maura and Stephen)
Ethan Thomas (Jennifer)
Brendan Thomas (Emily and Kevin)
Samuel Joseph (Megan and Ron)
Brendan Leonard (Allison and Cullen)
James Robert (Brian and Kelly)Samara (Christina and Sean)
Laura Eileen (Kristen and John)
Margaret "Maggie" Brigid (Kristen and James)
Courtney Anne (Karen and Michael)
Sofia Ella (Caren)
Nula Niamh (Tarryn and Killian)
Taylor Marie (Jennifer and Gregory)
Cragan Carol (H. Edward "Ted" and Elizabeth)
Mary "Molly" Elizabeth (Christine and Rob)
Noreen Elizabeth (Erin and James)
Kathryn Kaye (Lindsay and James)
Lillian Simone (Anna and Dan)
Clare Elizabeth (Caitlin and Rob)
Kaylin Elizabeth (Jennifer and Michael)
I should probably note, I go to a (very Irish-)Catholic college so names like Brendan aren't unusual at all.

I'm actually pleased to see the names as the only ulcer inducing one is Cragan.

I know, I just hope Cragan has a really strong honoring story behind it that offsets the harsh name.

Noreen and Nula Niamh are so charming! I'm also delighted by Margaret Brigid (though Brigid Margaret flows better), Lillian Simone, and Clare Elizabeth.
